2009-2010赛季的全明星周末，将在达拉斯阿灵顿牛仔体育馆举行，从2月12日开始一直到2月16日结束，前前后后将持续五天时间。
As the starting center of the second-year team in the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the starting center of the Western All-Stars in the All-Star Game, Yan Hua and his teammate Serge Iba started after the King's away game against the Pistons on February 2. Ka flew directly from Detroit to Dallas.
As a repeating rookie, Serge Ibaka averaged 30 points, 11 rebounds, 7 blocks and 2.2% shooting in less than 55 minutes per game this season. , The free throw percentage is 73%. Among the rookies who lack excellent insiders, this kind of data is quite outstanding. Therefore, in this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge, Serge Ibaka was selected with an absolute advantage. The first-year team's starting lineup.
On the day of arriving in Dallas, Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka parted ways. Yan Hua went to the second-year rookie party initiated by Derrick Rose, while Serge Ibaka and the first-year team The teammates went to meet up.
In last season's Rookie Challenge, Derek Rose and Michael Beasley, who aspired to MVP, failed to win the cup as they wished, and Yan Hua, who came out halfway, took the lead. Therefore, this season's Rookie Challenge MVP, for Derrick Rose, is something that cannot be missed no matter what.
Because Yan Hua, who has a good relationship with Derrick Rose, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love and others all support Derrick Rose, plus the main competitor Michael Beasley, in the In the two seasons after entering the league, his performance was really mediocre. Before entering the league, he was a star-studded, favored man who was favored by thousands of people, and gradually reduced to a second-rate player among their rookies. , in the situation where the status, statistics, and Derrick Rose are very different, even if Michael Beasley is determined to compete for the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, there is no way to get the support of his teammates.
Unlike those teammates who came to enjoy the All-Star Weekend, Yan Hua really doesn't have much free time, because Yan Hua now has a lot of sponsorship contracts, and the sponsors behind Yan Hua also hope to take advantage of the All-Star This weekend's feast, let's catch a wave of enthusiasm.
Adidas, in particular, is planning to take advantage of the opportunity when media from all over the world gather in Dallas to launch the second-generation King signature sneakers, so Yan Hua, who is the rightful owner, is even more restless.
Therefore, on the night of arriving in Dallas and the morning of the next day, Yan Hua didn't even have a chance to rest. He was dragged by various sponsors to attend various activities and press conferences until all business activities came to an end. Yan Huacai dragged his exhausted body and rushed to the stadium to practice with his teammates from the second-year team.
Since he will participate in the All-Star Game and there are still some business activities to participate in, Yan Hua has already made up his mind to paddle before this Rookie Challenge starts, let alone Yan Hua. Hua promised Derrick Rose last year to help him win this year's Rookie Challenge MVP.
So in the Rookie Challenge that night, Yan Hua turned into a full-time blue-collar worker, and rarely participated in the team's offense. Even if he received a pass from his teammates, he would find an opportunity to pass it to Derek Rose.
Finally, after the 40-minute rookie challenge, the second-year team defeated the first-year team 133 to 121, becoming the second rookie team in the history of the rookie challenge to win the rookie challenge for two consecutive years. And Derrick Rose also won the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge with 38 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists.
On the second day after the Rookie Challenge ended, Yan Hua and others sat on the sidelines of the Arlington Cowboys Stadium as the melon-eating crowd, preparing for the shooting contest, skill contest, three-point contest, and dunk contest that night. Participants cheer.
Although Derrick Rose encouraged Yan Hua and others to sign up for this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest after the end of last season's All-Star Weekend, but when the registration for this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest started, Yan Hua and others did not Participate in the registration.
Regarding his dunks, Yan Hua is very self-aware. The dunk contest has never been a stage for big men. Although Dwight Howard also signed up for the All-Star Dunk Contest and won the final championship, Dwight- Howard participated in these All-Star dunk contests, but they are called the dunk contests with the dimmest stars.
And compared to Vince Carter and Jason Richardson, even in the year when he won the slam dunk contest, Dwight Howard's dunks were not aesthetically pleasing. In the competition, Dwight Howard became a stepping stone for the little potato Nate Robinson. Hua, it is impossible to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.
As for Eric Gordon and Derrick Rose who vowed to sign up for the election, Eric Gordon backed down when things came to an end, and Derrick Rose, according to his own statement, was the Bulls. His head coach, Vinnie De Nagro, would not let him participate.
Because Derrick Rose will not only participate in the Rookie Challenge this year, but also participate in the All-Star Game, so Vinnie DeNagro is worried that Derrick Rose will play too high at the All-Star Weekend, which will affect the Bulls Game planning after the All-Star Weekend.
Anyway, each had their own reasons and excuses, and each of them swore to sign up for the slam dunk contest, and to join forces to stage the most exciting slam dunk contest in history, and finally let go of the other party's pigeon with a tacit understanding.
Last season's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has already been complained about being mediocre and bleak, but this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is even more mediocre than last year. Nate Robinson, who defeated Dwight Howard last season and won the Slam Dunk Contest, Defeated this year's rookie DeMar DeRozan in the final. While defending the slam dunk contest championship, he also became the only player in the history of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest to win the slam dunk contest three times. The champion, Nate Robinson, also announced after the slam dunk contest that he will launch the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest permanently.
